  I've seen the bakery for as long as I've lived in the neighbourhood but only recently popped in for a visit.
  
  Ordered a slice of their garden fresh quiche with a side garden salad. The quiche was yummy, though it needed to be piping hot. It was only slightly warmed upon arrival to my table. Salad and dressing were good.
  
  I sampled a selection of their custom made desserts and they were excellent! Their pastry selection is quite vast and offers different flavours.
  
  There's ample space to sit too. It's a cosy spot along the Danforth. Will be back!

  I just came from Patisserie La Cigogne and I was very disappointed.  I spent 10 minutes alone in front of the counter and didn't get served.  No one was there!
  One person, a young lady who was on her break and was talking on her phone.  She told me when she saw me that she was on her break.
  At the end of 10 minutes a woman who was a bit older came around from the washrooms and said she had something to do in the back and disappeared.
  Don't bother going there.  I've been here twice and the service is dismal.

  The food here is amazing, so it pains me to do this, but I need to drop two stars for the consistently poor service.
  
  On my last visit there was a small group of us dined in. While we were seated in good order, it took forever for someone to come and take our order, despite our repeated attempts to flag someone down. Finally someone from our group went up to the counter and the staff person seemed incredibly annoyed about it.
  
  We finally got our order in, but somehow my order was missed. Unfortunately no one came back to our table to ask how our food was or if we needed anything. Finally when I mentioned my food never came (again, had to go up to the counter), I just got a "oh, sorry about that" like it was no big deal. They did offer to put the order in except our group was leaving so I couldn't stay. I ordered a pastry to go, which they could have just offered to let me have as a gesture of goodwill for failing to deliver my meal, but instead they charged be for it.
  
  In summary, food is awesome here (especially the pastries and quiche). Service needs work.

  It's a cute place. I've been looking for a good French bakery and this one provided me with a variety of desserts. They were really sweet when I went in. I got an exotic flower (a white chocolate mousse cake with a tropical fruit center). It tasted fantastic. I took it to go, but I do think I would like to go back and try sitting in. The cafe looked adorable. The only reason it lost a star is because of the price. It's a wonderful tasting dessert, but it isn't cheap.

  I've lived on the Danforth for 25 years and always heard this place was great - not so much!!
  
  Came on a Thursday morning and got little to no service. The server made us wait 15 minutes (the coffee shop is empty, by the way!) before she brought us empty coffee cups. She fails to tell us that you have to get up and get your own coffee - so we waited with empty cups for another 15 minutes for her to bring us coffee. Servers should explain this kind of thing to patrons!
  
  The server said she was the only server onsite, which would have excused the bad service, but there were practically no customers to keep her busy.
  
  Not sure if they schedule worse staff on weekdays since it's less busy, but overall I was so disappointed with this place.
  
  Also, really bad cappuccino - and on national cappuccino day, no less. Lol!
  
  Finally, I think that croissants at McDonalds are better than here.
